Quick answer
A cargo van load board lists freight small enough for a Sprinter, Transit or ProMaster van: medical specimens, electronics, expedited corporate deliveries and last-mile parcels. On FreightBidder you filter to the Sprinter Van equipment type, then bid on loads by lane, weight and pickup date. Cargo vans stay under the CDL weight threshold, but you still need a USDOT number to join, and an MC number for interstate for-hire work.

Cargo van freight — questions answered
What kinds of freight can cargo vans haul?
Cargo vans and Sprinter vans suit time-sensitive, high-value freight: medical specimens, legal documents, electronics, auto parts, pharmaceutical samples, urgent corporate shipments, and last-mile e-commerce parcels. Which of these are on the board at any moment depends on what shippers post.
Do I need an MC number or a USDOT number to haul cargo van freight?
To join FreightBidder as a carrier you need a USDOT number, which we look up with FMCSA at signup. For-hire freight across state lines also requires FMCSA operating authority (an MC number), even for a van that does not need a CDL. A carrier registered only for intrastate work can bid only on loads that start and end in one state.
How do I price a cargo van load?
Price from your own costs: fuel, loaded and empty miles, tolls and your time. Use the free Lane Rate Check for a state-to-state reference before you bid, and compare it with your cost per mile. Rates vary a lot with the lane, urgency and season, so we do not quote a typical figure.
How is a cargo van load board different from a standard load board?
Standard load boards are built around Class 8 trucking. FreightBidder has a Sprinter Van equipment type, so you can filter the board to loads posted for vans and skip the 53-foot-trailer freight.
Is FreightBidder free for cargo van operators?
Yes. Create an account, complete verification, and submit up to 10 bids per month at no cost, with no credit card. Carrier Pro ($29/month) raises your limit to 100 bids per month and adds the AI bid advisor.
